The current administration had little will/power to stop the gun show loophole however, given the latest massacre; there is more pressure to close it. The loop hole is any “occasional” private gun dealers may sell guns without background checks and or perform recordkeeping on the sale transaction to provide purchaser information.

Gun show dealers although private but certainly not small time were criticized by using the loophole to avoid any paper trail. It was a concerned that the American gun shows were a major source for illegal firearm trafficker within the USA and abroad. Whenever there is any movement to tackle the loophole, the membership gun clubs such as the NRA, responded with how the Second Amendment rights is being threatened.



The Gun Show Loophole Act of 2009 is still a pending legislation "floating" and making its round from the Senate to the House Commitee to the Homeland security ever since it was introduced. Every group is passing the buck.
